Certified wooden floors are a fundamental solution for construction and renovation projects, as their exceptional durability and resistance guarantee a long-term investment, while contributing to a reduction in environmental impact. Choosing resistant and durable flooring minimises the need for frequent replacements, which results in a significant reduction in resource consumption and waste production over time.

Certified wooden floors also benefit from innovative technologies that significantly increase their durability. The Durable technology, developed by Finfloor, gives the floors exceptional resistance to wear and weathering. This solution enables the floors to have low swelling (less than 8%) and high dimensional stability, guaranteeing a reliable long-term solution.

Water resistance is another significant feature, making it possible to withstand water for up to 48 hours, which makes this segment an ideal solution for areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, where exposure to humidity is more frequent.

Energy efficiency is another fundamental benefit. The natural thermal insulation properties of wood help to maintain a more stable interior temperature, which potentially reduces the costs associated with heating and cooling the environment.

In addition to the natural properties of wood, the energy efficiency of floors can be improved by applying thermal insulation. There are various solutions available for this purpose, each with its own specific characteristics, such as:

• Expanded Cork Board (ICB): A natural and renewable material with excellent insulating properties.
• Moulded Expanded Polystyrene (EPS): Lightweight and with good thermal insulation capacity.
• Extruded Expanded Polystyrene (XPS): It offers high compressive strength and low water absorption.
• Mineral Wool (MW): Provides effective thermal and acoustic insulation.
• Rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam (PUR/PIR): It offers excellent thermal performance with a reduced thickness.

Choosing the right insulation material can significantly boost the energy efficiency of the floor and contribute to an energy-efficient environment.

In short, certified wood flooring offers a unique combination of durability, resistance and energy efficiency, with characteristics that contribute to sustainability in construction, and which also provide tangible benefits in terms of comfort, longevity and energy savings for your home. Their ability to resist wear and tear, humidity and temperature variations, together with their thermal and acoustic insulation properties, make these floors an excellent choice for a variety of applications in modern, sustainable construction.
